I got a number from Google Voice, Checked "Forward to Google Chat & Unchecked the "Forward to" Phone to prevent rings to other than the SGP5.

I followed the list SKWATCH posted on the previous page.

I entered in a number and hit the call button.... Budda-Bing, Budda-Boom.... It Works & sounds fine. What a Deal for $4.99

Thanks to all that tried to get me pointed in the right direction with my Google Voice "Forward To" issue, and general understanding of how this works. This is a long way from the KIM-1 I had as my first computer, and a tad smaller too. :-)

Hello, I just started doing the hotspot and grooveip setup. One question I have is does texting through google voice or talking on grooveip use data? Thanks for all the help you gave me for my settings on grooveip, seems to work fairly descent. I recently picked up a T-Mobile sonic 4G hotspot with a $25 data card which came out to be 1.5Gb of data. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Just a tip, this program, last I checked anyway, https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...katone.android is a much smoother integration then grooveIP, the early beta's had issues, but that last time I tried it, it worked pretty good, I didn't keep it because maintaining a constant wifi connection was more of a battery hog then I was willing to put up with.

Yes. GrooVe IP's Google Play description states that it "allows you to make calls using the device’s data (WiFi or mobile data) connection" and "GrooVe IP uses 1.2 MB per minute during a call." I don't know how much data Google Voice's text messaging uses.

I have an issue with mine. I finally can get the microphone to work well but when I hold the sgp 5.0 to my ear can't hear anything. Doesn't that phone speaker in the front work? It works on speaker phone but that's kinda annoying. Do I need to use the headphones and mic? Confused.

I used it tonight and the only issue was the screen stayed on the whole time. I was afraid to touch it with my face cause it might hang up or etc. is there a setting like on groove ip to shut it off when by an ear? I looked on the settings but cant find anything.

I just tried mine and it would not lock screen during call. Must of changed with a recent update. Anyway in settings change proximity lock to sotware. This will automaticaly lock the scree after a few secs during a call. I dont thibk we can use the hardware option to lock screen because the 5.0 doesnt have a prox sensor.

yeah, the 5.0 lacks a proximity sensor so it can't tell that you've moved it up next to you head.
